Harrow

I am a professional pianist based in London with over 20 years experience in the music industry. Having performed both as a solo artist and with various bands at many prestigious and reputable venues including London palladium Wembley stadium royal festival hall and 10 Downing Street, I play a broad range of musical styles including classical, rnb/soul, light blues, rock, pop and Bollywood music. I hold a BA (hons) degree in music as well as all 8 grades in piano under the ABRSM board. I have a background in teaching also and myself am a composer/song writer as well as a pianist.

Sam performed at our wedding anniversary party back in June. As well as being an accomplished pianist with a great diverse repertoire of music, he’s a lovely and friendly chap :). Guests thoroughly enjoyed the music also and Sam made it a memorable occasion for us with some great musical entertainment. Highly recommended!

We were delighted to have Sam perform at my brother’s birthday party back in March. He really livened up the party with his delightful piano playing and it was a truly great evening overall with a great buzz. A lot of positive feedback from the guests. Great choice of songs and versatility of different styles. Many thanks again sam :)
